Safari locks up after new Java update

I along with others in my office have noticed that since the Java update (Sept. 19) , I believe it was 48 megs or so, that Safari will lock after surfing on the Web for 20 to 30 minutes.
After it locks, you cannot force quit. Eventually, OS X locks and you have to turn off the Mac and restart.
We've repaired disk permissions.
Anyone else experienced this problem or have ideas on how to correct?

Below is a message regarding some software that has improved the problem. Still happens, but much less now.
From Christopher Starkey, message # 19 under "Safari Freezes"
Hello. Had the same issues since the latest Java upgrade. The fix from apple will address it for sure, however, in the meantime check out www.macfixit.com and www.dshadow.com for commentary and a daemon utility called unlockupd that works great for now. I went to the Apple Store and talked to them there and they felt this temporary fix is better than doing anything on the terminal commands that are out there that may invalidate a later apple fix.
I had problems with both Mail and Safari freezes and the unlockupd worked great. Hope this helps.

  • Safari locks up after new modem

    Just got  a new cable modem.  Any time I try to use Safari or iTunes, they just lock-up (the color wheel).  I think they are trying to go online but are unable.
    Can still use Firefox and mail without any problems.

  • Cs4 wont open on mavericks after installing new Java update

    Cs4 (photoshop and illustrator) wont open on mavericks after installing new Java update.
    I have tried installing both from the auto prompt (which came up as 'software update') as well as directly downloading from this link: Java for OS X 2014-001
    either way when i try to open a cs4 program the icon simply bounces around for a minute then it comes up "program not responding"
    anyone have any ideas?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi Matthew,
    First of all, you should be able to check in your HD/Library/Receipts folder to see what has been installed by looking for the .pkg of it.
    re: "I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine"
    You should not be offered updates that are not intended for your System through Software Update. Software Update, as far as I know, reads the .pkg files in your Receipts folder and will offer what you need from that. (I believe that is correct....perhaps someone will correct me if I'm wrong)
    Did you Repair Permissions from Disk Utility before and after the update?
    If not I would try running Repair Permissions (HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions).
    I've found that with Security Updates that it is very important to Repair Permissions before and after updating.

  • I just downloaded the new Java update now Safari is slow and I'm getting the spinning beach ball of death.

    Typing in Safari with the new Java update that I downloded today causes the spinning beach ball and slow loading of pages. As usual, Java is causing problems. Just once I would like to see things run without having to depend on Java.

    24Golfer:
    I think there's something more, because it keeps happening to me with the Finder where it says that it is not responding when I go to the Force Quit window.
    Are you saying that the Finder is reported as not responding? If yes, try this:
    Go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.finder.plist
    Drag com.apple.finder.plist to desktop
    Restart computer.
    Monitor to see if anything changes, or Finder is still not responding.
    Good luck.

  • HT5367 Does anyone know if I can download this version of Java - for OS X 2012-005 - the new Java update is a total mess and it is preventing me from working... need to go back :-(

    Does anyone know if I can download this version of Java - for OS X 2012-005 - the new Java update is a total mess for me and is preventing me from working remotely...  :-( really need to go back to older Java, don't have the Time Machine set up ...  Thx

    I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...

    Resolution
    Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
    If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
    Additional Information
    This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

  • New Java Update w/Snow Leopard Firefox leads to broken javascript functionality?

    I'm using Snow Leopard with the current Firefox... and after the new java update downloaded from Apple -- just today -- I'm finding that a site that I use regularly no longer works when a link for a java scripted small pop up informational window no longer pops open.
    Clicking the link does nothing.

    Sorry that's untrue. I have Photoshop CS3 running on 10.9.
    CS9 or 10? Now you are just making stuff up.
    Adobe claim CS3 will work, with a minor issue…

    The Adobe updater fails to work for me.
    I was prompted to install J6RE which came from Apple, check the Apple support downloads http://support.apple.com/downloads/#java%206
    Sorry can't provide a direct link, it was just a dumb 'You need … please click install' dialog.
    I think the 10.9 java updater is installing version 7.

  • Matlab font issues after installing Java Update 2

    Hey everyone,
    I am a scientist and I use the program Matlab to prepare plots for papers, presentations, etc. I am already a little annoyed that when running matlab on mac there are issues of text content cut off in the figures. More importantly after the java update 2 the matlab font looks HUGE. If you change the font setting, it will look normal, but sometimes shift the text. Does anyone know how to fix this? Matlab provided a fix for the R2008 version, but nothing for the R2007 version. This program is so important to me and my work, I may have to move back to Microsoft or Linux in order to have MatLab produce the plots I need.
    Please let me know if there is an efficient way to fix this problem.
    Thanks,
    Casey

    Hi clamarche,
    I have the same problem on my dual quad-core MacPro after updating Java to Java Update 3. All of my font settings were reset. However when I change the font from 12 pt to say 10pt the cursor moves as if the 12 pt font is still used so it does not line up with any characters once a few characters into the line.
    I have tried removing all of my preferences and global matlab preferences, but no luck. I have not applied the Java Update 3 to my 17" MacBookPro as to avoid this problem. What version of Matlab are you using? I have R2007b.
    As for text being cut-off from your plots, I have found a small but important note to do with the '-r' option for the print command. On the Mac OS X platform, for some unknown reason you should always set the resolution to '-r72'. This has fixed the problem for me. I had the same problem when saving figures as png's that were to be used later to make an animation. All of the scaling was funny until I set the resolution to 72.
    I am hoping that I can find as solution. Maybe clearing the Java preferences, where ever they may be.
    Regards ...

  • There is a new Java update availible, however when i go to software update the download doesnt appear. someone please help!

    I know that there is a new java update available because when i go to java's website it tells me to go apple-software update because i have a macbook. however, when i do so it tells me all my software is up to date. Any help is much appreciated.

    Java support is changing.  Currently Apple is working on Java 6 for Macs and regularly releasing updates. There is a developer preview available but this is not recommended for regular users as it may contain unexpected bugs. The latest version for regular users is java version "1.6.0_24".
    Java 7 is currently under development, in a community effort led and co-ordinated by Oracle. This effort includes Java for Macs.  Once this happens it might be that you'll no longer get Apple Mac Java updates from Apple, but instead you'll get them from the same Java website as Windows and Linux users.  Whatever happens, Java will continue to be supported on Macs well into the future.

  • Safari will not run a signed applet on mac os x 10.5.7 with new Java update

    Hi Everyone,
    I've got a problem that hopefully you guys can help me solve. I have an applet that runs on windows, mac and linux that is signed by a verisign certificate my work has. The certificate is valid and everything works just fine on windows and linux, but after I upgraded our macs with the newest java update for mac (which gave macs Java 1.6.13), the applets won't work. When the applet is loaded in Safari or Firefox, it asks if I want to trust the certificate. When I tell it to trust it, Safari comes back with a message saying that it will not trust the code and will treat it as unsigned code.
    For a long time the applet was built and signed on windows, but now it can be built and signed on windows and mac. Building and signing on either platform gives the same results and the mac signed applet works just fine on windows.
    Has anyone else run across this problem? Any help or advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Robbie

    How did you tell it to fully trust it? I thought the dialog comes up asking the user whether to trust it.
    I only ask because it's not practical to expect all users to dig around for settings to trust a particular certificate.They don't have to dig around. When a signed Applet is loaded, if the certificate chain contains a certificate not in the trust store then a dialogue box asks the user if he wants to run it anyway. This dialogue box also has check box to indicate the the user should always trust this certificate and checking this means the user will not be asked again.

  • Safari won't load pages after latest java update

    I did the java update last night and now there are a lot of web pages that don't load. I also tried Firefox and Opera so I believe it is the latest Java update not something else.
    Is there a log some where that I can check to see if there are any error messages or other indications of what is actually happening?

    HI,
    If you are running 10.4.8 then you need to update your system software to 10.4.11. And make sure you have the 2009-002 Security Update installed. Open System Preferences/Software Updatess - Installed Updates. Make sure that update is there. If not go here and download and install ...
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_002__Tiger_PPC
    Then repair disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    And ... from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences - Security.
    Where you see: Web content make sure the top 3 buttons are selected.
    And ..
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.
